Watch the Best Latin American Films of the Year in New York This Weekend

Latin American cinema is having a well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Not that it’s a passing fad, but you can’t deny the fact that we are being spoiled with the many great films coming from Colombia, Chile, Argentina Mexico, Brazil, and many other countries down south. In case you need to be doing some catching up on 2015’s strong slate of films, Cinema Tropical has followed up its awards announcement with the lineup for their annual film festival which celebrates the best features from the region.

The titles that will screen at the Museum of the Moving Image this weekend show precisely the variety and quality that made 2015 such a banner year for Latin American films. Whether you’re looking for another reason to swoon over Argentine-born Viggo Mortensen, who stars in the Western Jauja, or want to finally catch the critically-acclaimed Ixcanul which has been wowing audiences with its contemporary story about a young Mayan girl that was shot mostly in the Kaqchikel language, the Cinema Tropical Festival definitely has something for you.

Oh, and did we mention that RuPaul’s Drag Race fans can can catch season six contestant April Carrión in the Puerto Rico-set documentary Mala Mala? Like we said, something for everyone! Check out the full lineup below.

The Cinema Tropical Festival runs at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens February 26 – 28, 2016.
